Bulldogs Notes and Notables

  • The Black and Gold are coming off their biggest win in DI program history after defeating UMass 27-26 last week for the team's first FBS win.
  • Brennan Myer was dialed on the final game-winning drive, marching the Bulldogs down the field for the eventual game-winning field goal as time expired. He finished the game with 318 yards and three touchdowns. This was his second career 300+ yard game and third three-plus touchdown game.

  • Brandon Perkins was all over the field, registering a career-high 14 tackles and two tackles for loss. His efforts resulted in being named the Stats Perform FCS National Defensive Player of the Week and the CAA Football Co-Defensive Player of the Week.
  • Elijah Elliott produced 110 all-purpose yards, including a 43-yard rec TD up the seams, his second career rec TD.
  • Azarel Juste continues to be a force in the secondary, hauling in his second consecutive interception in as many games.
